fix(net): a replacement that fails before delivering never ends a live track - #7956
Sometimes a route change hands a front's track to a replacement source that answers with matching metadata and then aborts before its first group. If the front had already read that answer, the track ended with the replacement's error, even though the source that was serving was still live. #7789 fixed only the case where the abort lands before the front reads the answer. Both Rust and JS had the race, and new tests reproduced it in each.
Approach
Rust (moq-net): the front driver (run_front in rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs) delays a replacement's answer while the incumbent's copy can still deliver. The answer goes to the state machine only after the replacement's copy holds a group or ends.
Nothing else serves: the first copy, or the incumbent's copy is gone.
The incumbent's copy is already complete, since it has nothing left to protect. moq-mux's same-instance return test depends on this.
The metadata differs: it is refused at once, as before.
Two new crate-private polls:
track::Consumer::poll_grouped is ready once latest_sequence() is Some, the same test that TrackEnded.delivered uses.
resume::Consumer::poll_grouped is its counterpart for a front's logical track used as a source.
While a replacement is awaited, its copy's subscription follows the readers' demand, as the spliced copy's does, so a reader widening its preferences reaches it. If it was asked while only info or fetch demand held the track, the first live reader subscribes it.
The gate also opens on a replacement that completes cleanly without a group.
poll_grouped and poll_largest read the route's copy and phase in one lock, so a copy served just before the front concluded is never missed.
Action::Park now drops the track's pending query and staged copy, as Front::unwanted's comment already said it did. Without that, a parked track waiting on a replacement would keep that source subscribed for nobody.
JS (@moq/net): JS readers already keep the replaced copy delivering until the new copy's first group. The gap was the end verdict.
Reader.#end and Reader.finished() now treat a serving copy that fails before its copy holds a group, while a replaced copy still feeds, as the replacement refusing the track. A closing route's failure is not a refusal. "Holds a group" is judged on the copy (hooks.latestSequence), as Rust judges the shared copy, not on what one reader's window took from it.
If a copy other than the failing serving one settled the track's end without error, and the reader's range owes nothing below that end (max(cursor.start, newest + 1)), the track ends cleanly even if the replacement then fails. This matches Rust's draining incumbent. An end the failing copy declared itself, or one whose copy failed short of it, keeps the error.
Route holds the incumbent: the source serving before the replacements that have yet to deliver. It holds it until a copy of the serving source delivers. A reader or fork that joins in that window also reads the incumbent as a replaced copy, as earlier readers do, so the rollback and clean end apply to it too. Rust gets the same result by swapping only once the replacement delivers.
The new Route.revert(from, to) serves the incumbent again. Readers that hold its copy reuse it through the existing returning-route path, and new readers subscribe to it.
Impact
Public API: none. All additions are crate-private or module-private.
Wire: none.
Behaviour: a better or replacement route takes over a track only once its copy holds a group, instead of when it answers. Until then the incumbent keeps serving, so its route stays subscribed for that long, as the quest recommended.
Alternatives
Re-splice the incumbent after the failure in Rust too (the quest's literal wording: keep the incumbent's copy and release it on the first group). This needs a new Front event, a retained copy in the driver and a re-splice path. Delaying the answer reaches the same result through the machine's existing draining fallback, with less code.
Delay the swap in JS the same way as in Rust. I tried a probe subscription in Front.#splice. Many resume tests broke because they assume the swap happens at the answer, such as route flaps and returning routes. JS readers already keep the replaced copy, so fixing the verdict in the reader fits that design.
Choices made without asking:
The Rust and JS mechanisms differ, as described above. The observable behaviour matches: the incumbent keeps serving, a refusal is recorded unless the route is closing, and the track ends when the incumbent runs out.
After a JS refusal, no later source continues the track. That is JS's existing rule for every refusal, while Rust's refusals are per source. This difference predates this PR, and this PR leaves it alone.
Decisions
✅ A JS reader joining before the replacement delivers keeps the incumbent (maintainer's pick, on Pullfrog's thread at resume.ts:868). The Route remembers the replaced source until the serving copy holds a group, and a reader created in that window also subscribes to it as a replaced copy. Rejected alternatives: delay the JS swap until the first group like Rust (the biggest change, and it broke many resume tests when tried earlier); or fix only the range case and leave the late joiner as a follow-up (that leaves a JS joiner failing on a replacement abort while Rust's doesn't).
Follow-ups
None.
Validation
New tests: a_replacement_aborted_after_its_answer_keeps_the_incumbent and an_awaited_replacement_follows_the_readers_demand (Rust), and "a replacement that answers and then aborts before its first group leaves the incumbent serving" (JS). Each fails without its fix.
From the CodeRabbit round, each failing without its fix: a_replacement_finished_without_a_group_ends_the_track and an_awaited_replacement_asked_without_readers_subscribes_when_one_joins (Rust); "a replacement that aborts before its first group after the incumbent finished ends the track cleanly", "waiting for the end of a track whose replacement aborts before its first group follows the incumbent" and "a replacement that delivered is not undone by a reader whose window skipped its groups" (JS). a_replacement_aborted_after_the_incumbent_finished_ends_the_track_cleanly pins Rust's matching behaviour, which already passed. The poll_grouped race has no deterministic test, since the sim runtime cannot interleave inside one poll.
From Pullfrog's thread and review round 2, each failing without its fix: "readers owed nothing below the incumbent's end end cleanly when the replacement aborts", "a reader joining before the replacement delivers keeps the incumbent when the replacement aborts" and "a reader joining after two undelivered replacements keeps the incumbent when both abort", plus, from Pullfrog's second round, "a fork made before the replacement delivers keeps the incumbent when the replacement aborts" and "a serving copy that declares an end and then aborts short of it keeps the error" (JS). readers_owed_nothing_below_the_incumbents_end_end_cleanly pins the matching Rust behaviour, which already passed.
quest gate just ci origin/main passed in full on d31bac63b2, whose tree is identical to the head 354c2f872f (10921 Rust tests, JS, and every check), after merging origin/main at 597fe8bacd. Earlier runs passed on ecd88f79cd and 1f0b2ee150 (JS) and on c31c1535c7 (10920 Rust tests). An earlier run on 7bf01a4c71 failed once in js/net/src/connection/reload.test.ts ("closing the loop keeps the tokens until the session drains"), which this PR does not touch. That test passed 6/6 alone and 3/3 in the full @moq/net suite, so it looks like a load-dependent flake.

(head 354c2f8)
Codex gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, via quest review --base origin/main.
Rounds 1 to 3 (earlier session) ended clean on db6fe806f4; see the PR history.
CodeRabbit's six threads from 21:32Z: five fixed, and the cleanly closed incumbent thread fixed differently from its suggestion. Replies are on each thread.
New session, round 1 on 7bf01a4c71f0181861e905d04717ca3e1654adb0 (CodeRabbit fixes plus origin/main merged at 6f92d4499c): no findings.
Pullfrog thread on 7bf01a4c71 (resume.ts:868): a reader whose range starts past the incumbent's end, or one that joins before the replacement delivers, failed with the replacement's abort. Fixed per decision 1.
Round 2 on c31c1535c7669536455801e592051e6923b4451c (merged origin/main at 6883a898b3): one finding. With chained undelivered replacements A, B, C, the route recorded B as the incumbent instead of the still-live A. Fixed in 1f0b2ee150 with a test.
Round 3 on 1f0b2ee150b4fd1170074aad7bff9476eb704e18: no findings.
Pullfrog threads on 1f0b2ee150: a fork made before the replacement delivered skipped the incumbent (resume.ts:507), and the clean-end shortcut accepted an end that never settled (resume.ts:916). Both fixed in d85b732c74 with tests.
Round 4 on ecd88f79cdb3043558aca8eafa4bad9e1b38339e: no findings. This is the fourth round, the design checkpoint: the approach stands. Each finding since round 1 has been a JS corner of the same rule, that the incumbent keeps serving until the replacement delivers, and the route-held incumbent now covers fresh readers, forks and chains in one place.
CodeRabbit thread at origin.rs:3875 (a routed replacement whose front concluded could hold the gate open): refuted. A front concludes only in Action::End, after closing its broadcast (origin.rs:4224), and that broadcast is the downstream front's source, so SourceClosed drops the stale ask. Confirmed with an instrumented chained-front run.
Merge queue failure on ecd88f79cd (run 42135945147): moq-dev/moq#7806 removed create_broadcast, requests_route and Route::default, which this PR's new Rust tests used, with no textual conflict. A quest fixer pushed 354c2f872f (merging origin/main at 597fe8bacd, then following the renames) while I made the same change locally as d31bac63b2. The two trees are identical (git diff d31bac63b2 354c2f872f is empty), so the branch keeps the fixer's commits. The port moves the six newcomers to route(path, RouteOptions::hidden()...) plus announce(), and the one requests route to forward(path, RouteInfo...), as main's own tests in that module do. Library code and JS needed no change: feat!: one Route handle owns its broadcast #7806 left resume.rs, front.rs, track.rs and resume.ts alone, and the gate, SourceClosed and Action::End's broadcast close are unchanged. Each ported test keeps its newcomer Route alive for the whole test, which now keeps the source up. Two ported tests were re-checked to fail without their fixes.
Round 5 on d31bac63b2078b06888086d23227e376f7b8dc77: no findings.
Final head: 354c2f872f2d3b171e929fccdf2029c1293ebd02, whose tree is identical to the reviewed d31bac63b2. Review clean.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The Rust origin tracks reader demand on queried replacement copies and reports replacement metadata under defined conditions. Rust consumer polling detects when a serving copy holds a group. JavaScript routes retain an incumbent and can restore it when an undelivered serving copy fails. Tests cover incumbent continuity, replacement errors, completion, and demand propagation. The m1 quest entry and document were removed.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 354c2
Later readers can miss a replacement’s buffered group or lose access to the last-serving source. Resolve these route-selection cases before merging unless their impact is explicitly accepted.

[P2] Handle a concluded front before returning idle after reversion — js/net/src/resume.ts:875–878. If replacement B aborts before its first group and the front concludes before readers poll, route.revert() is a no-op, yet this branch returns idle while each reader remains on B. With two readers and incumbent A still open, repeated refuse() signals can wake them in a microtask loop; a single reader instead remains on the failed copy and can report B's error rather than A's clean end. Return idle only after fallback succeeds, or explicitly restore the retained incumbent for concluded readers. Add a two-reader regression with conclusion between failure and the next read.
Preserving the incumbent until replacement proves itself is a reasonable direction, but the conclusion path needs the same lifecycle guarantee. Verification: GitHub-only static review; no tests or interop executed. Hosted Check was still running when inspected.

Important
The Rust front driver fix holds up, but the JS #end fallback silently declines when the route has concluded, so the track still ends with the replacement's error there. Detail inline.
Reviewed changes
Rust driver holds the replacement's answer: serve_front records Asked.info and only emits Step::Info once the serving copy is complete, the metadata differs, the replacement holds a group, or it closed — so an abort with no history becomes a refusal and Front's draining fallback restores the incumbent (front.rs untouched).
Awaited copies follow demand: follow_demand runs on asked.sub while the answer is held, so a reader widening its ranges still reaches the copy the splice waits on.
Action::Park drops the pending query and staged copy, matching Front::unwanted's comment instead of leaving a parked track's source subscribed.
Two new crate-private polls: track::Consumer::poll_grouped and resume::Consumer::poll_grouped, both mirroring latest_sequence and delegating through a nested route.
JS reader falls back to the replaced copy: Reader.#end treats a serving copy that failed before handing out a group as a refusal (unless its route is closing) and Route.revert re-serves the incumbent.
Quest file retired: quest/m1/route-swap-keeps-incumbent.md and its README entry are deleted.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)
Reviewed commit: db6fe80
Compared with the previous review at 682b0ab and the PR diff against base 1938eb1.
No new actionable findings. The prior P2 conclusion-path finding is addressed: Route.revert now restores the incumbent after conclusion and synchronizes readers, while Reader.#end records the refusal and returns idle only when reversion succeeds. The added regression covers the concluded front retaining the incumbent through its clean end. The Rust delayed-answer logic remains intact after the FrontServe merge.
Direction: preserving the incumbent until a replacement can serve is sound; this update closes the previously identified lifecycle gap without a public API or wire change.
Verification limits: GitHub-only static review; no tests or interop executed. The new conclusion regression uses one reader, so the previously suggested two-reader interleaving has not been exercised here. Quest passed on this head; a full CI pass was not verified.

Delta since the prior pullfrog review (682b0ab → f7767cf):
Route.revert now reaches a concluded route: a front's conclude() clears route.source, so a replacement that failed before delivering re-serves the incumbent even after the front is gone; revert returns whether it applied.
Reader.#end reports the fallback only when it took effect: it records route.refuse and returns idle only after revert succeeded, and otherwise falls through to the existing handling instead of swallowing the failure.
Regression test: "a replacement that aborts before its first group after the front concludes leaves the incumbent serving" — it fails with Stream: remote error: 64 when the concluded-route case in revert is removed, and the whole js/net suite stays green on the merged head.
origin/main merged a second time: the previous run_front conflict is resolved onto main's FrontServe/FrontStep refactor with no behaviour change, and Action::Park still drops the pending query and staged copy.
quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at f7767cf because it conflicts with main (merge_conflict).
The land fixer works on it in the background, and the watcher re-enqueues it at the back of the queue once it is fixed or judged flaky, or hands it back here with what it needs.
quest land watch: armed auto-merge on this pull request at b74cc1a, so it joins the back of the merge queue once its required checks pass, with main at 1d40769 merged in by the quest merge driver.
When the front has received matching replacement metadata and the incumbent remains open, publish the replacement’s first group only after the front is waiting for it. Await the reader’s group and assert that it receives the replacement group. The current abort, preference, and related route-copy tests do not isolate the staged FrontServepoll_grouped wakeup.

Rust:
- An awaited replacement asked while only info or fetch demand held the
track is subscribed once a live reader joins, so it can deliver the group
the gate waits on.
- The gate also opens on a replacement that completes cleanly without a
group, not only once it closes.
- poll_grouped and poll_largest read the route's copy and phase together,
so a copy served just before the front concluded is never missed.
JS:
- The rollback judges the replacement by its copy holding a group, as Rust
does, not by what one reader's window took from it.
- Reader.finished() applies the same rollback before rejecting.
- A copy that finished the track before the replacement failed ends it
cleanly, as Rust's draining incumbent does.

[P2] Advance the incumbent when a copy receives a group, even if nobody reads it — js/net/src/resume.ts:230–232, 716–719. The retained incumbent is cleared by #observe only when a reader takes a group (or by the one-time readiness check when adding a new subscription). Let A serve group 0, switch to B, let B receive group 1 without polling a reader, then switch to empty C. The incumbent is still A, so a late joiner subscribes to C and A, not the live B. If A has aborted and C then aborts before its first group, that joiner fails despite B still being able to serve. Promote B based on its copy holding a group before carrying the incumbent across another swap. Extend the chained-replacement regression with this received-but-unread intermediate copy.
[P2] The prior clean-end/abort finding remains outstanding — js/net/src/resume.ts:914–917. Adding cursor.start fixes the range case but still does not establish that any copy completed cleanly. On a single-source front, hand out unfinished group 0, declare finishAt({ group: 1n, frame: 0 }), then abort before the next group read. The producer retains the abort because the group is unfinished, but this branch concludes the logical track cleanly. Require evidence of a settled clean copy, and add the unfinished-group regression from the previous review.
Direction: retaining the incumbent for late joiners is appropriate, but readiness must stay copy-level, and a declared boundary must remain distinct from completed delivery. The earlier concluded-route fix remains intact.
Verification: GitHub-only static review; no tests or interop executed. Quest passed on this exact head; hosted Check was still running at the final recheck.

Important
A fork created while a replacement is pending, and an end that a lone serving copy declared but never settled, both still escape this round's incumbent protection.
Reviewed changes
Delta since the prior pullfrog review (7bf01a4c7 → 1f0b2ee150):
Held the incumbent across undelivered replacements: Route retains the source that served before a replacement, clears the hold on the replacement's first delivered group, and keeps the original source when further replacements answer without delivering.
Subscribed a joining reader to the incumbent: a reader created while the replacement has not delivered also subscribes the held source as a replaced copy, so it reads the incumbent and inherits the rollback and clean-end verdicts.
Released the hold with the route lifecycle: revert, park, conclude, and the last reader leaving release the retained source.
Judged the clean end by what the reader still owes: the reached-end check now compares the declared end with max(cursor.start, newest + 1) instead of the newest handed-out group alone.
Pinned Rust's matching behaviour: a new test covers a range reader past the incumbent's end and a reader joining while the replacement is awaited.
…es a failure
A fork made before the replacement delivers reads the incumbent too, as a
fresh reader does. The clean end after a serving copy's failure now needs an
end some other copy settled without error, so a copy that declares an end and
then aborts short of it keeps its error.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
[P2] Do not latch producer settlement from an exhausted group cursor — js/net/src/resume.ts:789–791, 931–940. The new single-source regression is addressed, but recv.kind === "done" does not prove the copy settled: track.Subscriber.#complete checks the received boundary, not whether handed-out groups finished. Let A hand out unfinished group 0, switch to empty B, declare A's end at group 1, and poll the logical reader while B is pending. A's cursor returns done and permanently sets #settled. If A then aborts while group 0 is unfinished and B aborts before delivering, this flag still converts B's error into a clean logical end although neither copy completed cleanly. Add this two-copy interleaving and derive the latch from a genuinely settled clean outcome. The alternate peekLargest(...).ended check is also weaker than settlement: the largest stream can end while an earlier group remains unfinished.
[P2] The unread intermediate-copy finding remains outstanding — js/net/src/resume.ts:230–232, 726–731. B receiving a group without a reader taking it still leaves A as Route.incumbent when C replaces B. The extracted #joinIncumbent checks readiness only when attaching a reader/fork; it does not advance the incumbent on that receipt. The prior A → B → C late-joiner failure therefore remains. Promote B from copy-level readiness before preserving the incumbent across another swap.
Direction: sharing incumbent attachment with forks is a sound fix, and the added single-source test closes that specific regression. The settlement check still needs to distinguish exhausted cursors from completed delivery.

Retain a replacement that already holds a group.
If source B receives a group before a reader takes it, Route.delivered has not run. When source C replaces B, Route.serve keeps source A as incumbent. A reader joining under C then subscribes to A instead of B. If C starts beyond B’s group, that reader can miss the group. Check whether the serving copies hold a group before carrying the incumbent into another replacement.

Do not restore an undelivered intermediate replacement.
If A serves, B replaces A without receiving a group, and C replaces B and fails, this search selects open copy B before A. Route.revert then makes B the serving source and releases its hold on A, although A remains the last source that delivered. A later reader can wait on B instead of receiving A’s next group. Select the retained incumbent, or preserve equivalent eligibility after Route.conclude, rather than selecting the newest open replaced copy.

Delta since the prior pullfrog review (1f0b2ee15 → ecd88f79c):
Attached the incumbent to a fork: the incumbent attach is now #joinIncumbent, called from the Reader constructor's fork branch as well as sync(), so a fork made while a replacement is pending reads the incumbent and survives the replacement's abort.
Required a settled end before excusing a failure: #end's clean-end shortcut now needs #settled (a copy drained cleanly at its declared end, recorded in tryGroup's drain loop) or a present non-serving copy that declared an end, ended its largest, and did not close with an error. A serving copy that declares an end then aborts short of it keeps the error.
Ran the incumbent fallback for end-only waiters: finished() now calls #revert before throwing a serving copy's failure, guarded by serving &&.
Tests: a fork in the undelivered window, and a serving copy that declares an end then aborts short of it. cd js/net && bun test src/resume.test.ts → 135 pass.
Both prior findings are addressed, and the Rust side is unchanged in this delta.

Implements and deletes the quest A replacement that fails before delivering never ends a live track, a follow-up from moq-dev/moq#7789.
Problem
Sometimes a route change hands a front's track to a replacement source that answers with matching metadata and then aborts before its first group. If the front had already read that answer, the track ended with the replacement's error, even though the source that was serving was still live. #7789 fixed only the case where the abort lands before the front reads the answer. Both Rust and JS had the race, and new tests reproduced it in each.
Approach
Rust (
moq-net): the front driver (run_frontinrs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs) delays a replacement's answer while the incumbent's copy can still deliver. The answer goes to the state machine only after the replacement's copy holds a group or ends.Front's existingdrainingfallback then leaves the incumbent spliced.front.rsis unchanged.moq-mux's same-instance return test depends on this.track::Consumer::poll_groupedis ready oncelatest_sequence()isSome, the same test thatTrackEnded.delivereduses.resume::Consumer::poll_groupedis its counterpart for a front's logical track used as a source.poll_groupedandpoll_largestread the route's copy and phase in one lock, so a copy served just before the front concluded is never missed.Action::Parknow drops the track's pending query and staged copy, asFront::unwanted's comment already said it did. Without that, a parked track waiting on a replacement would keep that source subscribed for nobody.JS (
@moq/net): JS readers already keep the replaced copy delivering until the new copy's first group. The gap was the end verdict.Reader.#endandReader.finished()now treat a serving copy that fails before its copy holds a group, while a replaced copy still feeds, as the replacement refusing the track. A closing route's failure is not a refusal. "Holds a group" is judged on the copy (hooks.latestSequence), as Rust judges the shared copy, not on what one reader's window took from it.max(cursor.start, newest + 1)), the track ends cleanly even if the replacement then fails. This matches Rust's draining incumbent. An end the failing copy declared itself, or one whose copy failed short of it, keeps the error.Routeholds the incumbent: the source serving before the replacements that have yet to deliver. It holds it until a copy of the serving source delivers. A reader or fork that joins in that window also reads the incumbent as a replaced copy, as earlier readers do, so the rollback and clean end apply to it too. Rust gets the same result by swapping only once the replacement delivers.Route.revert(from, to)serves the incumbent again. Readers that hold its copy reuse it through the existing returning-route path, and new readers subscribe to it.Impact
Alternatives
Frontevent, a retained copy in the driver and a re-splice path. Delaying the answer reaches the same result through the machine's existingdrainingfallback, with less code.Front.#splice. Many resume tests broke because they assume the swap happens at the answer, such as route flaps and returning routes. JS readers already keep the replaced copy, so fixing the verdict in the reader fits that design.Choices made without asking:
Decisions
resume.ts:868). The Route remembers the replaced source until the serving copy holds a group, and a reader created in that window also subscribes to it as a replaced copy. Rejected alternatives: delay the JS swap until the first group like Rust (the biggest change, and it broke many resume tests when tried earlier); or fix only the range case and leave the late joiner as a follow-up (that leaves a JS joiner failing on a replacement abort while Rust's doesn't).Follow-ups
None.
